Recent Google IO was amazing, from a developer's point of view I liked most of talks. But this particular talk about latest Google offering BigQuery and Prediction APIs is of particular interest for bioinformatics and computational biology community. While Google's BigQuery API enables user ... Comment - Like

Quality and availability of bioinformatics resources is always a matter of great debate. HTTP 404 not found is quite frequent phenomenon for bioinformatics researchers looking to use some published web accessible database or analysis tool. A 4-year follow-up survey on the lack of persistence of bioi... Comment - Like

Systems biology is supposed to revolutionise the biology by going beyond reductionism of molecular biology which has dominated biology for decades. The reductionist approach mostly relie on breaking a larger biological system down into pieces, analysing smaller pieces seperately and further determin... Comment - Like

Dr. Monica Anderson talks about reductionism vs holism in science. She also suggests that artificial intelligence failed because intelligence is too holistic and by its nature it always attracted the hardcore reductionists.
